So you've built one? A little more detail would be appreciated. Pictures?
It was a little while back and I did not take pictures. I simply used a combination of motors and differential gears to achieve it. It was a binary adder and I really could not do much else. I'll see what I can find online.
Edit: This was the closest thing I could find. It uses a simple lever system
Too bad you didn't take pictures, always interesting to see what solutions different people have come up with. The "ALU" in my computer will very likely be a Charles Babbage styled adder/subtractor. See this for an idea on how it works. I might include a multiplier and sin/cos, not decided on that yet.
